See if you agree with my treatise on the best defensive teams in the history of MLS. Thanks so much to @jessemarsch @AlexiLalas Peter Vermes @eddie_robinson2 @pablomastroeni @DNewsPreps and Robin Fraser for the insights into these teams @AnalysisEvolved

@sergi_fut @PpaqueOsQuiero No. You said the round of 16. They have to get through the group and win a game.

[Jared Young @JaredEYoung]

@Kevin_Kinkead @phlsoccernow It’s a silly conversation. A team of young kids, no matter how promising, will never be a consistent winner and no free agent will want to come here.

You have to play vets and have a fair fight for minutes to be a competitive team.

[Jared Young @JaredEYoung]

@Based_Ted_Cruz @WeddingRussell @edultimate @SpinFictionX @darwintojesus I get that. I look at what’s around me and it seems created to me. I work from that point forward. We just split at the very beginning. Best to you.

[Jared Young @JaredEYoung]

@Call_Me_ZoomE @joeclowery 4-4 against Miami. Miami gets the ball. Rafanello the deepest defending player by far. Zero discipline. All I needed to see.

[Jared Young @JaredEYoung]

@Based_Ted_Cruz @WeddingRussell @edultimate @SpinFictionX @darwintojesus I look forward to reading your proof of materialism.

Not trolling. I now understand that atheism is not a worldview according to you. You were avoiding the need for proof because of that logic. But materialism is what requires the proof.

[Jared Young @JaredEYoung]

@Based_Ted_Cruz @WeddingRussell @edultimate @SpinFictionX @darwintojesus You’re just playing games. You have a worldview. Whatever you want to call it. It requires proof to be true. You can’t prove it, just as I can’t prove mine.

[Jared Young @JaredEYoung]

@Based_Ted_Cruz @WeddingRussell @edultimate @SpinFictionX @darwintojesus So you don’t claim you disbelieve in God. You just do. That the nuance that protects you offering evidence?

Your worldview should be provable if true. There may be evidence of you being right but it’s not proven. Neither is God. If we start from there, we can talk.

[Jared Young @JaredEYoung]

@Based_Ted_Cruz @WeddingRussell @edultimate @SpinFictionX @darwintojesus Um Definition #2 says a “position stating”. Sure sounds like a claim to me.

You can avoid that truth here all you want, but proving your worldview to yourself might help. Avoiding that claim just stunts your intellectual curiosity.

[Jared Young @JaredEYoung]

@Based_Ted_Cruz @edultimate @SpinFictionX @darwintojesus You don’t claim there is no God? It’s right in the name.

[Jared Young @JaredEYoung]

@SoB_Evan @phlsoccernow I would agree but Carnell did nothing to protect them.

[Jared Young @JaredEYoung]

@theenvoyofchaos @phlsoccernow Carnell talked about how they dug in. How about just dig into your position for starters. They could have saved energy remaining compact.

[Jared Young @JaredEYoung]

@JoserNunez91 I’m not sure I understand your comment. They weren’t sitting back at all and the video shows it. Their structure was mind-numbing.

[Jared Young @JaredEYoung]

@jonathanstoop What positions/expenses are you counting? The Union spend less than half of their wages on attacking mids or forwards.

[Jared Young @JaredEYoung]

@JoeyH_iz_my_God @Jamezzz75 @SleeperBlazers Came here to say this. Maybe Nolan Smith wasn’t the worst but he angered fans the most.

[Jared Young @JaredEYoung]

@Call_Me_ZoomE @O_SilverRey_O @Transfermarkt Sir, I love the debate. But your math/search skills are flawed. Just looking at transfer fees for 5 years

26: -3.65m
25: 1.26m
24: -.96m
23: 3.78m
22: -1.09m

Total is -0.66m which is basically breakeven. Not your $7m gain number. Please help me.

[Jared Young @JaredEYoung]

@Call_Me_ZoomE @O_SilverRey_O If you look at the history on @Transfermarkt over the last 5 years we’ve been roughly breakeven on transfer fees.

I was surprised by that. Thought we were big net sellers.

[Jared Young @JaredEYoung]

The Union are dead last in player payroll, but are they last in ambition? https://t.co/JDBPpX5NbZ

[Jared Young @JaredEYoung]

@Call_Me_ZoomE @O_SilverRey_O @HopefulDooper @UnionBox Why didn’t you mention that some teams don’t spend much and do well? Like the Union. Like this year’s Earthquakes. Or the Columbus Crew three years ago. Never a big spender.

Your point on top team spending is valid but if you can’t be one of those teams, the U’s approach works

[Jared Young @JaredEYoung]

@Call_Me_ZoomE @HopefulDooper @UnionBox Nope. Owning a sports franchise is one of the best investment there is. Owners care about making money which is why they buy a team in the first place. Winning is secondary. Winning is the fun part. Sugarman just doesn’t have the cash flow to have fun.
